As of November 23, 2004, the taxpayer supporting a motion picture is
entitled to two types of favorable tax allowance:
• The taxpayer can obtain a corporate tax base allowance for support of the
motion picture up to the amount indicated in the sponsorship certificate,
provided that the film can be entitled to indirect support (Point 15 of Annex 3/B)
• The taxpayer can also reduce its corporate tax liability by the certified
amount in the year of investment or in the subsequent three years
(Subsection (1) of Section 22). The amount of tax allowance allowed each
year cannot exceed 70 percent of the corporate tax liability.
